OpenAI claimed that its recent GPT-5 update improved user safety in a model evaluation involving more than 1,000 self-harm and suicide conversations. OpenAI claimed that its recent GPT-5 update improved user safety in a model evaluation involving more than 1,000 self-harm and suicide conversations. More than a million ChatGPT users each week send messages that include "explicit indicators of potential suicidal planning or intent", according to a blogpost published by OpenAI on Monday. The finding, part of an update on how the chatbot handles sensitive conversations, is one of the most direct statements from the artificial intelligence giant on the scale of how AI can exacerbate mental health issues. In addition to its estimates on suicidal ideations and related interactions, OpenAI also said that about 0.07% of users active in a given week - about 560,000 of its touted 800m weekly users - show "possible signs of mental health emergencies related to psychosis or mania".

With the demand for human donor organs desperately outstripping supply, scientists are working to see if genetically edited pig organs can bridge the gap. Leonardo Riella, medical director for kidney transplantation at Massachusetts General Hospital, checks on Tim Andrews after his pig kidney transplant. Surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital have removed a genetically engineered pig kidney from a 67-year-old New Hampshire man after a period of decreasing kidney function, the hospital confirmed to WIRED in a statement. The organ functioned for nearly nine months, longer than previous pig organ transplants, before it was removed on October 23. Tim Andrews received the pig kidney on January 25 after being on dialysis for more than two years due to end-stage kidney disease.

Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel predicts that artificial intelligence will help cure cancer within five to 10 years through early detection and personalized treatments.

Environment Conservation Ocean Dolphins may be getting an Alzheimer's-like disease due to this neurotoxin The neurotoxins, found in algal blooms, primarily affect the body's nervous system. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. For marine biologists, dolphins are often viewed as sentinel species, or animals that shed light on the health of the ocean . Along with whales, porpoises, and other cetacean species, dolphins are one way that researchers know to sound the alarm about environmental hazards that might affect the ocean as a whole and potentially humans. In this context, researchers have connected neurotoxins from algal blooms to brain changes associated with an Alzheimer's-like disease in dolphins in Florida.

The United States has formed a $1bn partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to construct two supercomputers that will tackle large scientific problems ranging from nuclear power to cancer treatments to national security. The Reuters news agency first reported the new partnership, citing Energy Secretary Chris Wright and AMD CEO Lisa Su. The machines can accelerate the process of making scientific discoveries in areas the US is focused on. Energy Secretary Wright said the systems would "supercharge" advances in nuclear power and fusion energy, technologies for defence and national security, and the development of drugs. Scientists and companies are trying to replicate fusion, the reaction that fuels the sun, by jamming light atoms in a plasma gas under intense heat and pressure to release massive amounts of energy.

Open AI CEO Sam Altman speaks during a summit on June 2, 2025 in San Francisco, California. Open AI CEO Sam Altman speaks during a summit on June 2, 2025 in San Francisco, California. Founded in 2015 as a nonprofit, rather than a for-profit company, it promised to develop AI "in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity." With billions of dollars in investments from Microsoft, Japanese bank SoftBank, and chipmaker Nvidia, however, OpenAI has proposed changing its corporate structure to give investors more control over its technology. Critics of the change include cofounder-turned-competitor, Elon Musk, and nonprofits concerned about OpenAI's adherence to its mission.
